6,800 tons, roughly.
Accordinging to the two Navy pukes in my office, a ship's bunkerage can very depending on loadouts in the magazine, number of aircraft embarked, duration of the voyage, etc.etc.etc.etc. Carrier task forces almost never set sail without a replenishment group in tow or one or two setup en-route. The carriers fuel is also often used to refuel her escorts, hence the large bunkerage.
